This has been debunked

No, it has not been - ['debunked']
This is a totally 'separate official document' [in the form of 'Action Report, number' 1537'] involving 'DS Bernard'. He had no involvement in the 'seizure/ finding of / transporting of /' examination of any other 'silencer' mentioned in the investigation until '9th December 1985' at '0945 - 0949'...
Other police documentation (already posted elsewhere) confirm that a 'silencer', 'ammunition box', and 'telescopic sight' were fingerprinted by 'DS Davidson' and 'DS Eastwood' on the '13th September 1985', and that after this had taken place, all three items were submitted to the laboratory at Huntingdon, on the '20th September 1985 to be scientifically examined!
It becomes' abundantly clear', therefore, that 'this/that' Silencer 'DRB/1' could not possibly have been the same Silencer ('SBJ/1', 'SJ/1', 'DB/1' etc..) that was seized/found/transported/stored by the police, retained or returned to the police by the laboritory, on all and any occasion on the following dates:-
7th August 1985 ['SBJ/1']
10th August 1985
12th August 1985
13th August 1985 ['SJ/1']
15th August 1985
23rd August 1985
29th August 1985
30th August 1985 [`DB/1']
12th September 1985
13th September 1985
18th September 1985
and/or
19th September 1985..
The reason for this, 'was/is' that 'Ann Eaton' did not receive the three items of evidence ['silencer', ammunition box', and the 'telescopic sight'], from 'David Boutflour', until the '10th September 1985'. Furthermore, on the 12th September 1985, 'Police records confirm that' David Boutflour' telephoned Essex police and 'informed them', that he had 'found the silencer' to 'the gun'...
Why did 'David Boutflour' wait until the '12th September 1985, before contacting Essex police to tell them that' he had found the Silencer to the gun', if he had found it a month earlier [on the '10th August 1985'] ?
^ According to the evidence, the police 'already knew' (or so they said that they did), that 'David Boutflour' had found 'a silencer' in a gun cupboard at the farmhouse, on the '10th August 1985, which in turn, and subsequently that' Ann Eatons' husband, 'Peter Eaton' had presumably handed over to 'DS Jones' on the evening of the '12th August 1985'.
How can it be at all possible, that the 'same Silencer' was 'found twice' by 'David Boutflour'
in the same 'so called gun cupboard' [once' on the '10th August 1985' , and on 'a second occasion' , the '10th September 1985']? Yet the police claim they either 'never looked or searched' that cupboard or else, if they did 'they never saw a single Silencer in that cupboard', or for that matter, seize, recover, or find one, there..
Except, that on the '7'th August 1985', that 'DS Jones' returned to the crime scene on the first morning of the police investigation, and he took possession of four exhibits [`SBJ/4', 'SBJ/3', 'SBJ/2'and' SBJ/1']..
Bearing in mind, that originally, the Silencer which 'DS Jones' seized had the exhibit reference of 'SBJ/1'. Also, that he seized a further three items of evidence [marked as exhibit references, 'SBJ/2', 'SBJ/3' and 'SBJ/4', at the same time! These additional items of evidence were recorded in the original version of 'The Major incident property Register', when the investigation was one of 'Four Murders, and a suicide' when the crime reference no. Relating to that part of the police investigation, was 'SC/688/85'. However, once the nature of the police turned into one of five murders ('SC/786/85'), these exhibits were not included in the new version of the property book register. Moreover, many other key exhibits that formed part and parcel of case, 'SC/688/85', had their exhibit labels altered into something completely different! A typical example of this, was that during the investigation ('SC/688/85', the Bible had the exhibit reference of 'DRH/44', but once the new case raised its head 'SC/786/85', the same Bible became referred to as exhibit, ' DRH/33'...
In the original case file, 'hand swabs' [DRH/33'] taken by 'DC Hammersley' at the scene ('item no' .?) were rejected at Huntingdon Laboratory due on the to the fact that police had forwarded them, on the 9th August 1985, apparently in the same packaging as one of the bloodstained guns, which also got sent to the lab' to be scientifuly examined at the same time! However, once the nature of the police investigation changed at about the 7th September 1985, Essex police, resubmitted the previously rejected hand swabs, by resubmitting 'it' under a different exhibit reference, and crime reference no...
The Holy Bible which had previously borne the exhibit reference 'DRH/44', rather mysteriously, exhibit reference 'DRH/33'..
